Shoulder Impingement Syndrome

Pain when lifting your arm? With impingement, a tendon becomes compressed under the acromion – highly treatable with targeted therapy.

In impingement syndrome, tendons and bursae under the acromion come under pressure, especially when lifting the arm. The cause is usually not a fixed narrowing, but rather an interplay of muscular imbalance, overload, and unfavorable movement control.

Pain when lifting the arm sideways, especially at mid-height (painful arc). Often also nocturnal pain when lying on the shoulder and discomfort during overhead movements.

Muscular imbalances, a weak rotator cuff, poor posture, and repetitive overhead strain. Bony causes are rarely the decisive factor.

We analyze your shoulder’s movement control (movement analysis) and resolve the painful restriction with manual therapy. The key lies in targeted evidence-based training: we strengthen the stabilizing muscles so that the tendon has space again.
